Thanks, man! :) That song rocks. :cool: The "bug me" line is one that I'm not really sure about, either. But "bug me" was the closest approximation I could think of, too. -Sidebottom :attitude: "Kermit, does this film have socially redeeming value?" :) "Oh, I certainly hope so...

I just downloaded Jim Henson's early experimental jazz piece, "Tick-Tock Sick," and I'm completely in love with it. It's so cool. Does anybody have the lyrics for it? :sing: Thanks, -Sidebottom

Very true... And it's odd, therefore, that we never see Camilla very much nowadays. She wasn't even in Muppets From Space, a movie that was actually about Gonzo. Strange...:smirk: -Sidebottom :o "So, the grizzly bear, he walks out of the room. Well, the panda bear's just sittin'...

It's under Fran Brill's bio in the behind-the-scenes chapter, if memory serves. Weird stuff. :concern: -Sidebottom

The early nineties, eh? So after the run of the series! Cool! And it was the actual Travelling Matt puppet, actually performed by Dave Goelz??? Did he seem to know what he was doing there, or did he address the kids at home as "Silly Creatures", or do anything funny like that? It...

I believe Little Jerry (of Little Jerry and the Monotones) also mentioned Mr. Rogers once during one of the band's appearances on the street. -Sidebottom

In my eyes, they're ageless. Asking how old they are is like asking what species they are. It doesn't matter. They're Muppets. They're Ernie and Bert. :p :( And don't forget that they have their pilot's licences. -Sidebottom "Here on Sesame Street we've got all kinds. We've got...

See, thing is, for something like the wedding scene in TMTM, you'd want to have characters from lots of different Henson productions -- that's why the cast of Sesame Street is there.:p :( But when it comes to Fraggle Rock, your only options (and I'm talking in terms of real characters, not...

I remember that! One of the people the monsters had to guess who she was, was a dentist. And then the final person was rival game-show host Sonny Friendly! Guy Smiley: (giving a clue) "He has a job like mine, but he does not do it as well as I do." One of the monsters: "Uh... The President...

Maybe this could be Fraggle Rock! -S.B.

I always liked the Daddy Dear song. But does anyone remember "Five Purple Bonkers"? (Or "Konkers", I'm not sure.) It was a simple counting-down, ten-little-Indians style song with these five animated purple things who bopped themselves on the heads. I have no idea why, but it scared the...

This isn't classic Muppets, but... On _Fraggle Rock_, Convincing John switched back and forth. In "The Preachification of Convincing John" and "The Secret of Convincing John", he was a hand-and-rod puppet, but I believe he was a live-hands puppet in "The Secret Society of Poohbahs"...

Really? Cool! This is going to sound like a naive question, but what is the "true Muppet canon"? What is a canon, anyway? -Sidebottom

I just watched the four Mopatop episodes on that web site. They're great! I love how Princess Lulabelle is Shaky Sanchez. And if I'm not mistaken, the "Rude Dude" is Tosh Fraggle's pet beast, and the opera star "Singalotti" is the Blustering Bellowpane Monster that blows Boober's lucky...

Uh... Yeah. "I could feel the conversation starting to get away from me..." :D

Regarding Dr. Teeth: In an early sketch of Dr. Teeth by Jim Henson, before the puppet was created, he is referred to as: Leon "Doctor" Eltonjohn Dontshoot (The Piano Player) Get it? Elton John's "Don't Shoot the Piano Player"? :D I guess afterwards his nickname was changed from just...

Awwww, thanks.... :) I always quote from Fraggle Rock to all my friends at school. For some reason, I am gifted with an incredible memory for quotations. Now, since I'm only 18, I only caught the tail end of Fraggle Rock when it was on TV back in the eighties, and most of my peers never...

Okay. This thread started back when the Muppet Central Forum was still on Delphi, and it kind of died out. But I'd like to revive it. Basically what we were doing was discussing the "real" names and "full" names of certain Muppets, as evidenced from many, many diverse sources. Here's what we...

I've always loved that scene. "We can't have this frog hopping around loose." "I should say not! For one thing, he eats all the popovers."

The full explanation is in the interview with Bill Baretta on the Muppet Central web site. I'm too lazy to look it up right now. :) "Buiiiiiiiillllld iiiiiiit, and we will coooooooooome!" "Build what?" "A jacuuuuuuuziiiiiiiiii, okaaaaaaaaay?"
